Information and Submission Guidelines

Updated on Sept 14 2014Revised April 4 2015

Academic Integrity

Students are responsible for
knowing and adhering to SCAD academic policy. Students are allowed
to discuss exercises and/or projects with each other or help each
other find errors in their code. However, you are not to do anyone
else's work for them. Every
assignment in this course is to be done as an individual. You
must turn in your own work for all exercises, projects, exams
and quizzes! In
particular you may:

not copy another person's work in
part or whole and submit it as your own work, this includes
online tutorials;

not allow someone else to copy your
work and submit it as their own;

not allow someone else to do all or
part of the work for you;

not submit the work of a group as
your own;

not share any of your work
(assignments, code, etc.) with any other student, including
through posting it on the Internet or sending it in email

Acts
of
cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated in this course.

Dropbox

The drop box is not for personal
storage and is not to be used as a working directory. Only copies
of the files that you hand in for exercises and projects should go
into the dropbox. Please follow proper naming conventions as
specified in the submission guidelines. Warning: Files and
directories in the drop box which have not specifically been
requested may be deleted without notice.

The Materials folder will be used to
share class materials as well as other students work this quarter.
So if you have something cool that would benefit others
understanding, let me know, drop it in your dropbox and I'll copy
it to the Materials folder.

Submission Guidelines

Exercise
submissions: Create a directory in the dropbox, Quarter_Class_EN_LastnameFirstname_Title/,
containing:

The .cpp file, Quarter_Class_EN_LastnameFirstname_Title.cpp

Please include a readme.pdffile. This is a
description of how to run your .cpp (you may use a makefile or
gcc from command line)

If you are using an IDE such as Visual Studios
on windows or Eclipse on linux, zip your project folder and
submit that with the analogous naming convention ie. Quarter_Class_EN_LastnameFirstname_Title.zip

Project submissions:
Similar to the exercise submissions, using directory Quarter_Class_P_LastnameFirstname_Title/

Resumission: If you are
allowed a resubmission, please put the code content into a folder
titled as above but with _Final appended to the name and
leave the original submission alone.

Grading

Please follow the naming
conventions as specified in the exercises and projects and on this
page. I will not search for your work if you don't put it in the
right place. It is your duty
to check to ensure it is there and properly labeled.You will lose points if you do not.

Late Policy

Students will be expected to hand
in exercises and projects on time (start of class). I have
little tolerance for late assignments - it is not fair to the
students who worked hard to get their work in on time.Any late assignments accepted in
extenuating circumstances may incur a late penalty anywhere up to
50 percent if accepted at all.

Projects
and
Exercises have strict deadlines. Due means due at
the start of class!

Reviews and Dailies

As with any studio, you will be
expected to present your work in progress during dailies (when
time permits). Projects will requires a presentation. The purpose
of critiquing is to give you feedback on your work so that your
work can be improved. If you have been asked to revise your code
please do so by next class period. Keep in mind that
re-submissions may be subject to be averaged with the original
submission grade. This is fair to all students, including those
who have their work fully complete at deadline.

Note that you are always welcome to seek input on your progress at
any stage in a project or exercise.

This
policy gives you an opportunity to integrate changes based
on constructive critiques in class. This is an extremely
important step in studio production and you must have your
work ready to present on the due date and in dailies.

Professionalism

The grading breakdown is detailed
on the syllabus. Note that part of your grade is for
participation. This includes being prepared for dailies, handing
things in on time, being part of classroom discussions,
communicating, working on in-class exercises, asking questions
when appropriate, showing respect for others in the class and
participating in critiques when required.

For all student presentations, please refrain from working during
presentations, be courteous and pay attention. This is expected and
counts toward your participation grade.
